Howie, Donna, Miss Nancy, Senator Obama, ‘Fittin’ Harry Reid, Rahm ‘The Rabbit’ Emmanuel, Senators Schumer, Kerry, Kennedy, there is someone on the phone for you.
Sez it’s very urgent!
Yeah, something about don’t forget to pick up your ‘bag’.
Who’s Rezko some ask? Well, it’s a real long story and since I don’t want to get typist’s cramp I’m sending you to the Chicago Tribune a still great paper which has been covering the activities of the ‘Illinois Machine’ for years. What the heck is the ‘Illinois Machine’ you ask…
Tell me you didn’t vote in the CA Primary. If you don’t know what the ‘Illinois Machine’ is and who belongs to it you have not business near a voting machine.
What’s that?
Oh….
malcontent sez: ‘Stop haranguing the folks and get with the linky’s’
Obama and the suicide of the Democratic Party is a topic I will be visiting time to time but I really can’t get too involved in.. As I told Howard Dean at facebook today I really cannot support the actions of the party in denying Dem primary voters their vote, a Republican tactic, to nominate a Republican-lite candidate who won by voter suppression. Howard could, of course, give f#$k what I think but hey….
It’s gonna be pretty hard to ban me from the blog where I write 93% of the posts. Jane, whom I also contacted at facebook, a woman whom I stand in awe of for her steel spine and great writing skills told the ‘Boyz on the Blogz’ and the Obamacans where it is at today. Outstanding post about what the situation realy is as opposed to having an orgasm every time the MSM announces that Hillary is conceding.
As always I report….you decide…
Flash Alert: I’m getting reports from everywhere that Hillary is conceding. But… she’s not releasing her delegates….what next one wonders?
See folks are yellin’ at me about what a disaster McSame would be and how Roe vs. Wade and SCOTUS are at stake. And yeah maybe they are right but I just keep thinking.
There could very well be worse things ahead if certain folks can take power. Yeah, see…I can imagine that figure Sinclair Lewis warned us about. You know the one who was coming to take power,
‘….wrapped in a flag and carrying the Cross.’
Remember that warning, he made that prediction circa 1930, about Fascism coming to America, said nothing about whether the Fascist Leader was to appear from the right or……
The estimable Mike Lux of OpenLeft had this to say today:
Here’s my assessment of where the campaign is at based on my visit this weekend to Iowa:
1. The Obama surge feels real to me. Obama’s team on the ground is feeling quite optimistic about things, and they weren’t even downplaying things the way most campaigns do who are trying to keep expectations down. Most of the people I talked to while I was there predicted Obama would win, and they give him some clear momentum.
2. I think Hillary is hanging in there solidly. She still has a great organization, which is not losing any steam, and AFSCME and EMILY’s List both have impressive independent expenditure campaigns working hard and at a big volume. She’s keeping things very close, and if Obama stumbles at all, or she catches a lucky break, she still has a solid shot at winning.
3. My theories about Edwards fading don’t seem as likely to me after my visit. His organization still seems just as strong as my last visit, and in some conversations with folks from rural Iowa that came in for Saturday’s Heartland Presidential Forum, I get the impression that he is still the strongest of the three in rural IA, which is important.
4. Biden has more momentum than Richardson or Dodd going into the final month, and is picking up traction in some places around the state. I expect him to finish fourth , but he has a very long way to go to pull off a shocker and get into the top three- he’s not surging by anywhere near that much, not yet at least.
With exactly a month to go, this race continues to look like a tight race down to the end, and at least right now, feels much more like a 3-way race than a 2-way.
Here’s Edward’s on the stump:
I, A.Citizen, approved this partisan message and have one question for ya?
Are you or are you not going to support the candidate who more than any other offers a vision of America as it ought to be, or not?
Get over to our ‘For a Blue Majority Now!’ page and kick in $20.00! What are you waiting for? President Giuliani!
And one thing holds up pretty well; that is, why the hell is everybody talking as if ‘bombing Iran…’ will ‘knock out’ their underground laboratories. Clik the relevant link and you will see that…it will not. But of course that’s not the real reason Neocon scum led by the inept Cheney want to bomb Iran…or is it?
So Mr. Bush in a transparent effort to get his poll numbers up prior to the off year congressional elections is rattling his saber. Pretty much all he’s got left given that most Americans believe he is both incompetent and a liar. Here some things to think about with regards to the latest scare campaign by McChimpy and Mr. Cheney, or "Doin’ Time" as he will soon be known. These folks want to show you something about "nuclear bunker busters", funny how the psychopaths who have seized power like to use corporate advertising techniques such as: "shock and awe"; too bad the insurgents don’t seem to get it; "fight them there so we don’t have to fight them over here…", don’t count yer chickens on that one, and my personal favorite: "They hate our freedoms….". Yet these "transformative" leaders have no idea as whether their plans will actually work. Maybe that’s what they mean by "faith based"… But then what do a bunch of egghead scientists know? They don’t believe in the Creation. They say that Adam and Eve didn’t ride dinosaurs to church. Godless liberals is what they are. Good thing we’ve got President Bush to lead us. Mr. Dave Letterman put together a little film clip contrasting Mr. Bush’s inimitable speaking style with some famous Presidents of the past. Reassuring ain’t it? The picture? That’s a map of a classic "choke point"….. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 60% of the world’s oil flows through this strait. How long do you think that will continue if Mr. Bush strikes Iran with nuclear fire? If you’d like to let Mr. Bush know what you think of his plan for world economic and political disaster why go here and tell him. Don’t get me wrong. I think dropping nuclear bombs on anybody for any reason should be enough to get you locked up. But there are good practical reasons why this is not a good idea beyond the fact that it is morally indefensible.
Flash Update III: Our friends over at FireDogLake have some ideas about getting out government to listen to us. If you want to take effective action, they’ve done this on other issues with good success, go on over here……….. and get active.

This shows that John Edwards has a great chance to move up in the race for the primary but that he really will need our help to win this thing. So, unless you’re happy with The Hill bein’ the next President, and I haven’t met anyone in meat-space lately who is, you’d do well to help John Edwards right now. Don’t wait or it might be too late if you know what I mean.
Yeah, dimwits The Hill will make everthing better…not likely.
How would delaying a vote in order to placate the Republicans be any different than “stalling it on partisan grounds?” How long should we stick with a failed policy just to allow the GOP senators time to feel comfortable about doing what’s right for America? How many soldiers should America tolerate sacrificing while GOP senate aides channel their inner-Frank Luntz and write a series of Friday press releases? 100? 200? 1,000?
How many limbs is it OK for our troops to lose while Mitch McConnell figures out how to save face? How many more terrorists should we be OK with breeding in Iraq? How many more billions of dollars should we be willing to spend?
How much deeper should we dig the hole we’re in before the Washington Post decides it’s no longer “irresponsible” for Harry Reid to make life awkward for Bush’s minions?’
Except for ‘Connecticut’ Joe the LiarMann who stands alone the ‘Last Honest Man’ in the Senate. I truly do wonder what that AssClown has been drinking. Whatever it is it’s even worse for your brain’s ability to cognate than the famous Kool-Aid. Watch this but be warned it’s not a pretty picture.
Hey Harry! It’s me again. I wanted to call your attention to something but…Gee, I started lookin’ at the letters the citizenry is sending you and the wingnuts and nativists are really out in force today. Those hordes of brown people ‘surging’ over the border really have folks scared.
Funny about that Harry. Studies have shown that the great American people are really clueless when it comes to make realistic assessments of the threats they face.
Brown hordes! Whoa! That’s some to be scared of. Well, as you know that’s not really the case. Numerous studies show that those meskins are contributing to the economic well-being of the U.S. big time. ‘Sides you and I know that there is absolutely nothing you can do about it as long as Mexico’s economy is in the dumper.
Lost my thread there Harry. See, I’m not writing you about the evil meskins I’m writing you about a danger you face that is far closer to home. This vile sycophant has time and again tried to undercut your authority as Senate Majority Leader. He’s lied again and again about Iraq, President Bush, the Democratic Majority and recently denigrated our troops overseas.
Yet you call him ‘friend’.
Well Harry I think you had better re-evaluate your relationship to Joey the LiarMann. Do it soon Harry ’cause I am not sure your constituents are gonna like it when gas hits $8.00/gal. What’s Holy Joe the ‘Last Honest Man’ have to do with that Harry. Well, ‘Rape Gurney Joe’ makes a violent speech on Sunday about the absolute necessity of our bombing Iran and the price of a barrel of oil went up 10% this morning.
So you see Harry it’s not too smart to be defending HoJo right now he is spiraling into a crash dive I doubt he will recover from.
Question is…are you gonna join him?
I sent this by way of Congress.org. Here’s Harry’s page in case you want add your thoughts on Joe’s mental state.
